Hey Christian, today I have to disagree a bit. Your first point is that we should stop watching RUclips videos. In my opinion a better point is rather stop watching the wrong videos. Actually, RUclips helps me a lot to get better in English... I wish you the best for 2020 :)
Yeah but he meant videos that are about English, e.g. "10 different ways to say thank you" etc. RUclips videos that are in English and about whatever topics you like to watch videos about are fine, I don't think Christian meant those.
I got fluent in English just by watching RUclips. Thousands hours of input in a target language is the best way to learn it. You just need some base vocabulary to get started with it, but once you can understand videos, learning becomes free.
Science doesn't support your claim. What science tells us is if you listen things, you'll be better at listening. If you speak in English, you'll be better at speaking and so on. You can't be fluent only by listening, you have to use the language. That's the whole point of this video.
@@SaludInformada would love to see, where is was disproven, because I've heard the opposite. Especially how it would explain my fluency, if I never spoke to or even met an English speaker.
@@sobanya_228 If you haven't spoken to an English speaker, how do you know you are fluent? If you understand things in English, that doesn't mean you are fluent. You have to produce language, you have to speak with other people (not only write) to be fluent...
Hi Christian. My name is Mike Woods and I am an Australian English teacher working in Taiwan. Your video is a breath of fresh air. I totally agree with you. A long time ago I arrived at the same conclusions. Teaching English is an industry, videos, books, magazines etc etc etc. It all makes money. This does not mean that online teachers are bad people. Only that they fall into the same pattern as everyone else. When my students tell me that they must learn grammar I ask them two questions: "Could you speak Chinese when you were seven years old?" They always reply, "Yes, I could." I then ask them, "How many grammar lessons did you have BEFORE you were seven years old? They just look at me and cannot answer. There are so many questions, like this one, that a teacher can ask a student to expose the truth of the situation. So, good luck, keep going and I wish you all the best for the future.
Hi Christian! I feel like a "normal" person when I watch your videos. In addition to teaching, you can motivate without deluding or making people feel more limited than they already are. I know your channel a few months ago, but I wish I had known it for a while. Thanks for everything! Hearing it awakens many things that were dormant in me. A big hug with total gratitude. 💙💞
I'm a seventy six year old native English speaker of the English language. I have been living in China for eighteen years. My eight year old Chinese step grandson, loves to correct mistakes that I make when I read stories to him that he knows. Sometimes I make mistakes when I'm not reading out loud. We never stop learning, laugh at small mistakes, we will remember them better that way, and feel good about it. A great video, great content.
I think english is a huge subject and you need to learn step by step if you do this you will learn a lot of english and youtube give a full input to our learning.
You are a good teacher and person because you dont care our money and your goal is only teaching english us.I am watching you for 2 days and my ideas changed positive about learning english,thank you for everything the best teacher.
I don't agree with you Christian about only one point. Such positive and purpose driven podcasts especially all your podcasts help improve English and give people knowledge about right approach towards language . I say it as a polyglot who knows 13 languages and say as a language learners at the same time who continue learning languages. But what it comes to the other points you are completely RIGHT! Just keep going. You are doing exceptionally a great job!
Hi Christian, I don't agree with your claim to stop trying to learn English via youtube. I am a 72 year old Italian who loves to know languages. When I was young in Rome the war had just ended and there was hunger. For me there was no possibility to study, and even less to study languages. I am now retired and have been in Kenya for about a year where I tried to learn the local language (Kiswahili) and the official language (English) Since I discovered your channel, thanks to you, I have learned a lot. Now I'm back in Italy and I take advantage of your help. What I like most is that your "lessons" are like conversations because your way of dealing with linguistic issues is engaging ... I am intrigued and make the topic absolutely interesting. Now I have returned to Rome and I have no opportunity to practice or converse in English, for this I must thank you for the help and the company you offer me .... Yes Christian I have not used an inadequate term. You offer me company, education and every day intriguing points of view on learning methods. Happy New Year and thanks again.
Just a quick correction: I THINK you mean "...but if you passed it, then you don't necessarily know it." What you wrote would mean that any exam you passed is about an irrelevant topic. That's not what you meant, is it?
I don't agree with the 30 years thing. I think It's not a matter of years but a matter of HOURS, you'll get different results practicing 2 hours a few days a week than practicing 6 hours EVERY SINGLE DAY .. That's what i've been doing for the past 4 months and the progress i've made so far it's amazing
I will call this video a $1,000,000 video on language learning of this century. You opened my mind and thank you a million times. I want to apply these epic rules to my programming language courses with your permission. Love from the Turkish Republic.
There are millions of illiterate people in the world. They cannot read or write, yet they can speak. This means that you don't need to know grammar and you don't even need to read, but you're right when you say you have to practice the language. And just like children do, we are allowed to speak badly for the first few years. You are very good. Thank you so much!
Sólo escribo para decir que es el único canal de inglés al que le entiendo el 90% o más de lo que dice. Por lo tanto permíteme disentir con el primer tip. Voy a seguir viendo tus vídeos y agradeciendo cada uno de ellos. Saludos desde Argentina.
I totally agree with Christian. You should have a great conversation with friends around the world is the best way to learn English and I disagree just with one thing when you watch and listen to youtube channels in English you increase your vocabulary and listening skill, but you don't have to watch just the videos where people teach you how to learn English you try to see funny videos like the Ellen show or interesting videos like TED Talk, learn a new language is an amazing experience and enjoy the process is the most important thing.
I Couldn't agree more with these 9 tips albeit I would like to precise that the first tip, in my opinion, it's only should be related to youtube videos about learning English, instead I think that is really good watch RUclips videos about things that you are interested. For instance; if you like some group of music, you can watch videos with interviews to the group, reports about their songs,etc. If you like football, bikes, nature, travel, history, animals or whatever you like then watch RUclips videos about it. Anyway, thanks for these pieces of advice so good.
Most English courses are designed to capitalise on people's lack of autonomy. They purposefully discard critical thinking because tycoons are interested in protecting the sanctity of their products. When people realise that language is not a commodity but a vehicle to transmit their most fundamental human emotions and ideas, then they will truly grasp the importance of learning a language. Christian, you're absolutely brilliant. I'll definitely share this video with my pupils.
Totally agreed with you! I am from Asia. When I see people on youtube say "you can get fluency of certain any native language in 90 days, I would say "In your dream." I would say at least five year and more for learning a new language.
I can't believe every time when listening him, I understand 95 percent world, you are the best teacher this is true, may be I done mistake but I try do right )
Greetings from Russia Saint Petersburg! Thank you very much for your brilliant teaching. I agree with every your word. Success loves hard-working people. I have been learning English since 2017 . I am not young woman and sometimes i have success and failure. But how said H.Ford -failure is simply the opportunity to begin again this time more intelligently!
Dear Christian, you're my favorite teacher! I' agree with you on all the tips. I will spend time and energy in English Learning but you remain connected with us and please continue to get us this great motivation.
RUclips is a good tool that has to be used wisely... I watch like 2 or 3 hours per day of RUclips videos and that helped me a lot for my comprehension of my languages, because where I live I'm only sounrounded by people who only speak my language, that's why I use RUclips for Traveling to places where I can practice my languages ;)
I like to call it the four Ps;🤗 Practice, Perseverance, Patience, Passion, I have a frustrating experience. Not knowing where to begin or hitting a plateau can feel demoralizing and make it hard to hit the books and study like you know you should…
I agree with you a hundred percent. In fact, you can learn a new language if you make it an integral part of everyday life and you read, speak, write and hear regularly when someone speak in the new language. In addition, you are active and apply in practice what you have learned in the new language.
100% agree with you! I don't understand how those "teachers" who supposedly teach you stuff like "how to say thank you in 10 different ways" or "Stop saying 'you're welcome' said bla, bla", have millions of followers. It seems like people are willing to waist their time instead of take advantage of it. Greetings from Uruguay!!!
Patricia I just agree... But why not to try excellent teachers, who are not concentrated on promoting themselves but on teaching? I’m additional to this great channel, I can recommend: 1. Maple Leaf ESL 2. My Skypelessons 3. OLA English Try them, it’s very much different !!
I absolutely agree with you in general. But the first tip about RUclips is a little confuse. In fact I'm watching you on RUclips, and it was and it's very useful!. RUclips it's an extraordinary source of information and allows you to practice your listening enjoying the subjects you love, in my case Science, Music and English language as well!
Great tips my fantastic teacher!. You are the best! Thank you! I love to watch all your videos! I Have fun with your teaching and I love your accent! I'm Selma from Brazil.
Listening to real English helps A LOT to speak better. I agree that only with enough practice you get fluent enough. I also agree that most channels just teach grammar and not 'real' English.
I make your words mine, Christian, for they soften my continued concern with people who keep believing that learning a language is an overnight job. Wisely put, sir!
Hello my name is Alberto I am Spanish specifically from the Canary Islands. I am a follower of yours, because you are an extraordinary teacher and you have a gift. You have the gift of reaching people. I congratulate you for your work. I'm going to give you a gift, I give you a title for your next video, I know you'll know how to develop it. "Speak fluently in just one day"
Then I'm about 10 years to reach the peak and become fluent in English. That's awesome. I already completed 2/3 of this journey 😍 my goal it's closer every day. Again, thanks for the video teachers.
Hey Christian, today I have seen this video. Your opinium is to be not a native people is appsolutly true .I agree with you English language is real a tool to communicate with all people in the world .Let me express my gratitude for your help in learning the language. Success and happiness to you in 2020 and not only ...
Thank you for the tips and mostly thank you for your videos Christian! You have a different goal than other youtubers here and a different way to explain, also your academic uses to explain us the language and give us motivation is wonderful, thank you for your videos and hopefully we will keep having them in 2020! 🌸
Cris I’d like to thank you by your sincerity and for your advice about learning English. I’m very happy to meet you!! That Lord bless you and your family too!! Thanks!! For all!!
I agree with the first tip "stop watching RUclips" you on condition that someone is addicted to reading beautiful subtitles at the bottom of the screen while listening to TED talk or films. Otherwise you can not to be overestimated. Watching, and listening you on You Tube helped me a lot. Great thanks !
Hi Cristian! I am Brazilian from Petrópolis (Rio de Janeiro) and I considered this video really spectacular. It is simple, direct and at the same time sophisticated (why not?). You were very realistic.
Hi Christian, Daniel here. As always, excellent video again! I would like to say that your number 1 tip surprises me. I watch RUclips videos all the time, and exactly the ones you named. A few weeks ago, I started following your videos, and I loved them, you give me back the desire to be fluent, to be successful in my English. Even today, I started to retrieve information to take the Teacher Training course, I love the language, and my next goal is to be a teacher and transmit all the courage that you transmit to us, well, thank you Christian again, I will! I see in classes!
Hi Christian. Merry Christmas. I’ve just done an IELTS exam. That was terrible. Sadly, I lost my motivation and determination in the middle of this torturous experience. In speaking part the examiner asked me some questions about. Please take a look at them to find out what I am saying: 1. That is different between meal that people in your hometown eat from south to north? (Task 1) 2. Talk two minutes about a famous dish that people in your country eat in a formal occasion? Why you consider it as a spacious dish? ( task 2 ) 3. Definition of food has changed over the 20 years? ( task 3) Christian even in my native language, I am not capable of responding these question let alone in English. In reading part they gave us 3 difficult passages to evaluate our comprehension. This is unjust. And the worst part was listening a speaker who was speak like a chatterbox and in a unintelligible way, intending to mislead us and distract us to answer question wrong and I believe they enjoy deceiving us. How can I pass this exam. I am a language keener and my goal is to move and resettle overseas in a English speaking countries to follow my dreams. I don’t know why they place a lot of obstacles in the way of my development, but I never give up on my dreams. Please tell them. I work single_mindedly to accomplish and nothing will stop me. BECAUSE I HAVE A MOOD_ ENHANCER AND STRONG TEACHER “ CHRISTIAN “🙏🙏🙏🙏
Guau!!! I can't belive it!! I thought only my teachers were really crazy and ill. Why do they do that? What reason do they have for this? I can't understand but surely it isn't about level neither to evaluate skills
Christian, I undestand all the words that you said, i'm feeling a fluent guy, however when another people speak english i think i'm not good in my comprenshion, i've been studying english for 10 months and i'm improve it, thanks for your movies.
Practicing! That’s the magic word to learn English, what we’ve been doing when we were child to learn our language to communiques with others people around us? That’s it! Definitely I guess that my English is better than what I think is, unfortunately I have very few people to speak up with, never give up your goal! That’s my own secret. Have a great 2020 !
Hey Christian - I am a native English speaker and MAN I love this channel. If you have time to reply, I'd appreciate if you could tell me where the science says the 30 years thing? NOT because I disagree with you, but rather because I AGREE with you. An American was recently trying to tell me that Belgians speak English as well as any native speaker. When I tried to correct them on this idiot statement, saying that speaking English well does not equal speaking it like a native, they STILL pushed back and cited all sorts of irrelevant info, like the fact that the kids start it at 7 years old. (Like, yeah... 7 years after native speakers.) So I'd be interested in reading a paper that supports the 30 year thing. At 33, I would say my own English is still improving.
Hi christian, thank you for ur time and effort, greetings from Chennai, India. Levels 1 - 3 = CEFR Level A1 (Beginner) Levels 4 - 6 = CEFR Level A2 (Elementary) Levels 7 - 9 = CEFR Level B1 (Intermediate) Levels 10 -12 = CEFR Level B2 (Upper Intermediate) Levels 13 - 15 = CEFR Level C1 (Advanced) Level 16 = CEFR Level C2 (Mastery) For mastering it only it will take 30 years it seems. But I appreciate ur honesty and your love on learners. Proud to subscribe ur channel.
Today I has a hard day but right now I watched your lesson ....and I feel happy. You speak correctly and slowly it is very important for me. I am glad when I understand English speech. Thanks a lot! I wish you and all your relatives be happy and be healthy!
The best channel for learning english. All easy to understand. Just practice every day, not so much for comprehension new language. Thank you for positive and useful information.
I think that my watching RUclips is so unsystematic. My plan in 2020 is lessons with native speaker from Italki. I will embed new words and expressions in my speech. Otherwise all my study is usefulness. You are very good teacher! Happy to listen you !
Hi, teacher Christian. I have loved this lesson! You are a true teacher, as you say us the truth about learning a new language. My congratulations, master. Good luck! And...yep, I will see you in class. A hug.
Dear Christian, thank you for your honest video. I´m an adult learner of Spanish, however your videos about language learning apply to all and are absolutely inspiring - apart from the bit that it takes 30 years to master a language :P Feliz día de Reyes and all the best to you for the New Year!
This is the most meaningful video about learning foreign languages in the whole RUclips and not only in 2020!!! Thanks a lot, Christian! With the English lessons you give us lessons of honesty, kindness and fun!!!
Thank you so much dear Christian!!! 🙂Receive a huge from Venezuela. You have been blessed by God with a great and beautiful talent. I really like to learn and have fun hearing your classes🙂.
Hello. I'm new to this channel, but I love to learn and I already enjoyed the few videos I've seen. I have a suggestion for you: since you are teaching English and you are using English as the language to do that, it would be great if you could add subtitles to your videos, so that people who have difficult to understand what you are speaking can confirm by reading the subtitles. Automatically generated subtitles aren't always reliable, so manually added subtitles are the best option.
Christian, I'm brazilian, and i am your fan.You teach english in a very simple way. My english is not very well, ass you see, but I want get better , and become fluent, maybe next year I will. You are funny and happy, I wish visit you in London someday.
I find it fun to watch RUclips videos on subjects that interest me and I improve my comprehension skill at the same time. Therefore, I find RUclips videos enormously helpful in learning a language.
I'm here in 2022 and i've been studing english for 1 year or so, and obviously i'm not a fluent and this text probably will have some mistakes, but i don't care because i understand that this mistakes to do part to the process, i want aprecciate you cristian because you bring in this videos lots of true that the people here in brazil still belive (unfortunately) . fluenci in 3, 6 months? really? no way, c'mon, you're mor intelligent that this cheap advertising tha the people sells. Thank you very much cristian, you're amazing. So, just curiosly you is the first native that i watch the videos and i get understand i think at least 95% without use the legend and translate, haha amazing
I loved this video, when I tell my students that it took me 12 years of studies and practicing, and even spending 6 months in Toronto, and it was difficult, their reaction is like...really? and I´ve been teaching for 6 years and I'm still learning... when I tell them that they need to practice, talk , talk and talk. they get all confused because all they know is grammar.
Thanks alot and alot. This is the first time l listen to someone who truly and frankly speak about the correct problem of not learning the language as native apeakers. Otherwise in my country in the bookshop l saw a book whose title was "Learn English within a week". Anyway thanks once again for your advices.
You are right ! Communicatioon is the best way to reach our goal. Even on You tube - and I understood all what you have told us in these few minutes. This evening I have reached my day's goal . Tomomorrow, it will be another person for sure. Thanks a lot!

It's a real pleasure to communicate with you, Christian. I can not but fully agree with your ideas about learning a language. Keep up in the same way! For me, For everyone.

Best tip: stop trying to be native in other languages
For sure! More important than that is to be able to communicate properly.
Patricia your sense of humor is an incredible huge:)))))
I agree.
Most English courses are designed to capitalise on people's lack of autonomy. They purposefully discard critical thinking because tycoons are interested in protecting the sanctity of their products.

I am not young woman and sometimes i have success and failure. But how said H.Ford -failure is simply the opportunity to begin again this time more intelligently!
Dear Christian, you're my favorite teacher! I' agree with you on all the tips. I will spend time and energy in English Learning but you remain connected with us and please continue to get us this great motivation.
RUclips is a good tool that has to be used wisely...
I watch like 2 or 3 hours per day of RUclips videos and that helped me a lot for my comprehension of my languages, because where I live I'm only sounrounded by people who only speak my language, that's why I use RUclips for Traveling to places where I can practice my languages ;)
I like to call it the four Ps;🤗
Practice,
Perseverance,
Patience,
Passion,
I have a frustrating experience. Not knowing where to begin
or hitting a plateau can feel demoralizing and make it hard to hit the books
and study like you know you should…
I can’t tell if I’m motivated or discouraged 😅
I agree with you a hundred percent. In fact, you can learn a new language if you make it an integral part of everyday life and you read, speak, write and hear regularly when someone speak in the new language. In addition, you are active and apply in practice what you have learned in the new language.
100% agree with you! I don't understand how those "teachers" who supposedly teach you stuff like "how to say thank you in 10 different ways" or "Stop saying 'you're welcome' said bla, bla", have millions of followers. It seems like people are willing to waist their time instead of take advantage of it. Greetings from Uruguay!!!

Patricia you mean “Lucy “.
I agree! She is absolutely nothing special, even though some of her lessons aren’t bad...
@@ronenr1405 jajajja, Yes, I was talking about her.
Patricia I just agree...
But why not to try excellent teachers, who are not concentrated on promoting themselves but on teaching?
I’m additional to this great channel, I can recommend:
1. Maple Leaf ESL
2. My Skypelessons
3. OLA English
Try them, it’s very much different !!
@@ronenr1405 Thank you very much for your advice.
I absolutely agree with you in general. But the first tip about RUclips is a little confuse. In fact I'm watching you on RUclips, and it was and it's very useful!. RUclips it's an extraordinary source of information and allows you to practice your listening enjoying the subjects you love, in my case Science, Music and English language as well!
The very first time I see a guy who can clearly tell the truth. Thanks for that.
How come we're not liking such video??!! Impossible!! You're simply the best English teacher in this world! 🖤❤️
Great tips my fantastic teacher!. You are the best! Thank you! I love to watch all your videos! I Have fun with your teaching and I love your accent! I'm Selma from Brazil.
It sounds really true. And yeah, to my mind, the language should be learnt under no pressure. Thank you, Christian.
2020 is our year, sure.
Listening to real English helps A LOT to speak better. I agree that only with enough practice you get fluent enough. I also agree that most channels just teach grammar and not 'real' English.
This is Mr. Christian being always our best coach and adjusting our mindset with his usual Master touch!! Thanks Christian!
A very useful teaching, thank you Christian!
I make your words mine, Christian, for they soften my continued concern with people who keep believing that learning a language is an overnight job. Wisely put, sir!
Hello my name is Alberto I am Spanish specifically from the Canary Islands. I am a follower of yours, because you are an extraordinary teacher and you have a gift. You have the gift of reaching people. I congratulate you for your work. I'm going to give you a gift, I give you a title for your next video, I know you'll know how to develop it.
"Speak fluently in just one day"
🙂
Hello Christian, you are The only one english teacher. I respect you idea about getting fluent in english. 👍👍👍
Quoted: “Use the language as a communication tool”. Pure poetry. Thank you.
Then I'm about 10 years to reach the peak and become fluent in English. That's awesome. I already completed 2/3 of this journey 😍 my goal it's closer every day.
Again, thanks for the video teachers.
Hey Christian, today I have seen this video. Your opinium is to be not a native people is appsolutly true .I agree with you English language is real a tool to communicate with all people in the world .Let me express my gratitude for your help in learning the language. Success and happiness to you in 2020 and not only ...
Thanks. You are not a teacher, you are a great guru.
Hey Christian I'm a freshman in your channel , but I like them very much Thanks for your lessons.
Thank you for the tips and mostly thank you for your videos Christian! You have a different goal than other youtubers here and a different way to explain, also your academic uses to explain us the language and give us motivation is wonderful, thank you for your videos and hopefully we will keep having them in 2020! 🌸
Cris I’d like to thank you by your sincerity and for your advice about learning English. I’m very happy to meet you!! That Lord bless you and your family too!! Thanks!! For all!!
I agree with the first tip "stop watching RUclips" you on condition that someone is addicted to reading beautiful subtitles at the bottom of the screen while listening to TED talk or films. Otherwise you can not to be overestimated. Watching, and listening you on You Tube helped me a lot. Great thanks !
Hi Cristian! I am Brazilian from Petrópolis (Rio de Janeiro) and I considered this video really spectacular.
It is simple, direct and at the same time sophisticated (why not?). You were very realistic.
Hi Christian, Daniel here. As always, excellent video again! I would like to say that your number 1 tip surprises me. I watch RUclips videos all the time, and exactly the ones you named. A few weeks ago, I started following your videos, and I loved them, you give me back the desire to be fluent, to be successful in my English. Even today, I started to retrieve information to take the Teacher Training course, I love the language, and my next goal is to be a teacher and transmit all the courage that you transmit to us, well, thank you Christian again, I will! I see in classes!
Hi Christian. Merry Christmas. I’ve just done an IELTS exam. That was terrible. Sadly, I lost my motivation and determination in the middle of this torturous experience. In speaking part the examiner asked me some questions about. Please take a look at them to find out what I am saying:
1. That is different between meal that people in your hometown eat from south to north? (Task 1)
2. Talk two minutes about a famous dish that people in your country eat in a formal occasion? Why you consider it as a spacious dish? ( task 2 )
3. Definition of food has changed over the 20 years? ( task 3)
Christian even in my native language, I am not capable of responding these question let alone in English.
In reading part they gave us 3 difficult passages to evaluate our comprehension. This is unjust.
And the worst part was listening a speaker who was speak like a chatterbox and in a unintelligible way, intending to mislead us and distract us to answer question wrong and I believe they enjoy deceiving us. How can I pass this exam. I am a language keener and my goal is to move and resettle overseas in a English speaking countries to follow my dreams. I don’t know why they place a lot of obstacles in the way of my development, but I never give up on my dreams. Please tell them. I work single_mindedly to accomplish and nothing will stop me. BECAUSE I HAVE A MOOD_ ENHANCER AND STRONG TEACHER “ CHRISTIAN “🙏🙏🙏🙏
Guau!!! I can't belive it!! I thought only my teachers were really crazy and ill. Why do they do that? What reason do they have for this? I can't understand but surely it isn't about level neither to evaluate skills
Christian you're the best teacher I've never heard, you're able to express the mean goal that get me so fun keep on learning, great man that's you.
Happy New Year at the best teacher !!!!👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼
Christian, I undestand all the words that you said, i'm feeling a fluent guy, however when another people speak english i think i'm not good in my comprenshion, i've been studying english for 10 months and i'm improve it, thanks for your movies.
Practicing! That’s the magic word to learn English, what we’ve been doing when we were child to learn our language to communiques with others people around us? That’s it! Definitely I guess that my English is better than what I think is, unfortunately I have very few people to speak up with, never give up your goal! That’s my own secret. Have a great 2020 !
Hey Christian - I am a native English speaker and MAN I love this channel.
If you have time to reply, I'd appreciate if you could tell me where the science says the 30 years thing? NOT because I disagree with you, but rather because I AGREE with you. An American was recently trying to tell me that Belgians speak English as well as any native speaker. When I tried to correct them on this idiot statement, saying that speaking English well does not equal speaking it like a native, they STILL pushed back and cited all sorts of irrelevant info, like the fact that the kids start it at 7 years old. (Like, yeah... 7 years after native speakers.)
So I'd be interested in reading a paper that supports the 30 year thing. At 33, I would say my own English is still improving.
Hi christian, thank you for ur time and effort, greetings from Chennai, India.
Levels 1 - 3 = CEFR Level A1 (Beginner)
Levels 4 - 6 = CEFR Level A2 (Elementary)
Levels 7 - 9 = CEFR Level B1 (Intermediate)
Levels 10 -12 = CEFR Level B2 (Upper Intermediate)
Levels 13 - 15 = CEFR Level C1 (Advanced)
Level 16 = CEFR Level C2 (Mastery)
For mastering it only it will take 30 years it seems.
But I appreciate ur honesty and your love on learners. Proud to subscribe ur channel.
Today I has a hard day but right now I watched your lesson ....and I feel happy. You speak correctly and slowly it is very important for me. I am glad when I understand English speech. Thanks a lot! I wish you and all your relatives be happy and be healthy!
The best channel for learning english. All easy to understand. Just practice every day, not so much for comprehension new language. Thank you for positive and useful information.
This is the best motivation to learn English. Thank you!
I agree with everything except tip No.1. It works very well if you not only watch videos, but retell it in English in your own words.
Finally someone open up my mind, while the other ways isn't reach a sucessful level in my communication. Thanks for this!
I think that my watching RUclips is so unsystematic. My plan in 2020 is lessons with native speaker from Italki. I will embed new words and expressions in my speech. Otherwise all my study is usefulness. You are very good teacher! Happy to listen you !
Hi, teacher Christian. I have loved this lesson! You are a true teacher, as you say us the truth about learning a new language. My congratulations, master. Good luck! And...yep, I will see you in class. A hug.
Hi Christian, I would like to express admiration and gratitude to you. How wise it all is. Thank you.
Dear Christian, thank you for your honest video. I´m an adult learner of Spanish, however your videos about language learning apply to all and are absolutely inspiring - apart from the bit that it takes 30 years to master a language :P Feliz día de Reyes and all the best to you for the New Year!
This is the most meaningful video about learning foreign languages in the whole RUclips and not only in 2020!!! Thanks a lot, Christian! With the English lessons you give us lessons of honesty, kindness and fun!!!
Thank you so much dear Christian!!! 🙂Receive a huge from Venezuela. You have been blessed by God with a great and beautiful talent. I really like to learn and have fun hearing your classes🙂.
Hello. I'm new to this channel, but I love to learn and I already enjoyed the few videos I've seen. I have a suggestion for you: since you are teaching English and you are using English as the language to do that, it would be great if you could add subtitles to your videos, so that people who have difficult to understand what you are speaking can confirm by reading the subtitles. Automatically generated subtitles aren't always reliable, so manually added subtitles are the best option.
Christian, I'm brazilian, and i am your fan.You teach english in a very simple way. My english is not very well, ass you see, but I want get better , and become fluent, maybe next year I will. You are funny and happy, I wish visit you in London someday.
Love your classes. I think is the first time I understand almost an entirely speech without subtitles. I'm from Spain. Thanks!
I find it fun to watch RUclips videos on subjects that interest me and I improve my comprehension skill at the same time. Therefore, I find RUclips videos enormously helpful in learning a language.
I'm here in 2022 and i've been studing english for 1 year or so, and obviously i'm not a fluent and this text probably will have some mistakes, but i don't care because i understand that this mistakes to do part to the process, i want aprecciate you cristian because you bring in this videos lots of true that the people here in brazil still belive (unfortunately) . fluenci in 3, 6 months? really? no way, c'mon, you're mor intelligent that this cheap advertising tha the people sells. Thank you very much cristian, you're amazing. So, just curiosly you is the first native that i watch the videos and i get understand i think at least 95% without use the legend and translate, haha amazing
I loved this video, when I tell my students that it took me 12 years of studies and practicing, and even spending 6 months in Toronto, and it was difficult, their reaction is like...really? and I´ve been teaching for 6 years and I'm still learning... when I tell them that they need to practice, talk , talk and talk. they get all confused because all they know is grammar.
Thanks alot and alot.
This is the first time l listen to someone who truly and frankly speak about the correct problem of not learning the language as native apeakers.
Otherwise in my country in the bookshop l saw a book whose title was "Learn English within a week".
Anyway thanks once again for your advices.
Without your motivation I'm none.thanks chris.
You are right ! Communicatioon is the best way to reach our goal. Even on You tube - and I understood all what you have told us in these few minutes. This evening I have reached my day's goal . Tomomorrow, it will be another person for sure. Thanks a lot!
